Establishing protected areas is a strategy to set certain areas aside for conservation of nature and wildlife.
the picture of the protected area is up there ^ , Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve
One advantage of the strategy is that it ensures that certain areas to be protected, allowing Wildlife to flourish. This also ensures that endangered species do not go extinct. This also protects the ecosystem.
One disadvantage is that some less developed countries may not enforce these laws as they do not have enough funding to fully enforce it. However, this would restrict the amount of raw materials we can get.

Controlled logging

companies are allowed to cut down only older trees or a particular species of trees which are economically ^^ as shown
the overall amount of damage is reduced as the other plants are left untouched
high economic value of extraction activities provide many people with jobs and enable the country to to earn money from selling the resources overseas. However with less extraction of resources, there will be lesser jobs and money for people, in result of lower economic value

Controlled logging is an example of regulating forestry activities

process of controlled logging :D

The government of a country allows companies to cut down older trees and a particular species, which are economically valuable, leaving the younger trees untouched. Hence, overall damage to forest is reduced

Example of mentioned strategy (shown above)
The controlled logging is carried out in countries such as Malaysia and Colombia
One advantage of strategy
A cheaper alternative to setting aside tropical rainforests as protected areas
One disadvantage of strategy
Negatively impacts biodiversity

It is to prevent plant and animal life from being negatively affect. Thus, it is generally very restricted. They put laws into place, which results to people getting heavily fined if they break these laws (e.g. illegally cutting down trees, poaching exotic animals). People conserve remaining tropical rainforests and set them aside for protected areas.
Singapore has 4 protected areas, known as nature reserves, which covers 34 square kilometres. Two of them are the Bukit Timah and Central Catchment Nature reserves.
This provides people with jobs and enable the country to earn money from selling the resources overseas.
It is often very difficult for the country's government to set aside all of the remaining tropical forest as protected areas. This is because of the high economic value and resource extraction activities.

Controlled logging is to cut down only the older trees, or small patches in a certain area
*in the picture above*
Trees are able to grow faster and the forests recover quicker. This can also increase a country's economy.
However, by harvesting the better trees, it promotes the growth of weed and poor quality trees, negatively affecting biodiversity and carbon storage.

The strategy aims to re-introduce some of the plant and animal species which were originally found in the deforested areas.

One example: In Singapore, rehabilitation of mangrove forests has been carried out on Palau Semakau, a small island which was partially converted into an offshore landfill in 1999.

One advantage of the strategy is that when there is rehabilitation, there will be more tree species which means there will be more types of trees that people can take the medicinal herbs from to improve existing medicines to help people recover from their illness

One disadvantage of the strategy is that he speed of deforestation is faster than the rate of rehabilitation, thus there would be lesser and lesser plants and the extinction rate of animals will be higher as they will have no habitat to survive in.

1.The strategy is to let people know the importance of tropical rainforest and why they are under threat.

2.When the people know more about the importance of tropical rainforests, they will most likely play a part in reducing deforestation. For instance, only buying wooden products that come from a sustainably managed forest.

3.People might not heed the advice and ignore and it will be a waste of effort . There also might be a lack of people to teach others. Public education efforts may inadvertently overlook certain communities or indigenous groups whos traditional knowledge.
